I protocolli di sostenibilità edilizia: integrazioni e nuovi indicatori

According to the plan we have considered the problem of identifying new indicators, as a challenge not merely theoretical but oriented in progress to an effective implementation and application within the recognized quality protocols. The critical survey of the status of art has identified a “new” framework, emerged in recent times and further away from accelerated developments. The request of integration of protocols such as LEED or ITACA with potential new indicators, already identified a “canonical” response. A more basic question is posed: How to evaluate the sustainability of that part of the building organism delegated by definition to interact with the environment and, together with the plant devices, to provide optimal environmental performances and not just energy? Naturally through reliable and shared tools. Below we document and critically examine the current processing status of research on building sustainability indicators and calls up the main docs set standards for the sector. From the outset, just in order to understand the evolution of the approach, it plays the following table which shows a comparison between different evaluation protocols (APAT-ISPRA 2008, p.40). It consist on environmental criteria based on the environmental impacts of the building and consider different environmental aspects like indoor environment quality, water efficiency, waste reduction, energy efficiency, natural resource management, and environmental safety. The 3rd draft of an EU Eco-label for new buildings and existing buildings were published 2009 and its outdoor area of relevance. The document applies to both new buildings and both buildings undergoing major renovation. Of particular interest here is the following paragraph. The text, reproducing the current list of European rules on which this report has held, expresses itself exactly except for the use of the verb “to allow.” Which it is used ambiguously, obtaining a complete “exemption” from those assumptions, while the European legislation process clearly indicates the set of indicators on which, however, it continues to work. This should not be ignored and perhaps integrated and freely “calibrated” in our own multicriteria system.
